A lot of people have been complaining about the speedo trunks and tiny s-emblem... these seem to me to be more of design choices to accent certain proportions to make Routh seem taller than he is. I'm not crazy about the belt-buckle, but overall it's really growing on me.

And after seeing the "Superman fight" in Matrix III, cannot WAIT to see how they handle Supes in the film!

I have to agree with you. The Superman costume is terrible. Not only are the colors inaccurate, what is with the speedo trunks? I don't expect Superman to be in boxer shorts, but those trunks are, well, silly. And the belt buckle is goofy. Why the redundant symbols? Is this a marketing ploy to sell belt buckles?

If this is what WB is planning for the movie, I have a bad feeling that it is going to be a dud. What a disappointment. I had high hopes for this and now I am dreading the release.

I think it's interesting that people are complaining about the Supes costume as not being accurate, especially when he is standing next to Christian Bale in a Batman costume which is also not comics accurate, yet noone seems to complain.

I for one like the darker color scheme on the Supes costume. Sure, the emblem could be larger and that belt buckle is a little ridiculous, but neither one of these aesthetic choices comes close to ruining for me. Besides, what is important is how it will come out on film, not some publicity photo done for USA Today.

But that Superman costume still looks like ass. I saw another picture where the lighting is a bit different, so the red comes out a bit more vibrantly, at least on Superman's little teeny tiny man panties, and it looks better that way. The maroon sucks ass. He looks dead. His costume should be in primary colors.
